wet n wild Makeup Sponge - Streak-Free Application, Low Product Absorption, Cruelty-Free - Hourglass

I bought a pack of very cheap sponges and regretted it as they absorbed so much product and were hard to clean. This sponge claims to resist absorbing product and I agree it really does, it is excellent at blending without removing all the product from my skin. I like the shape of it- the flat edge and the pointed top are useful. It is also easy to clean. Highly recommended.

The Wet n Wild makeup sponge is alright. It gets the job done for basic makeup application, but don't expect any miracles. It's a bit too firm for my liking, and I found it absorbed more product than I wanted. It’s decent for the price, but there are definitely better sponges out there.

I am "old school" and have always used my fingers to apply foundation (or the two-sided velvet compact sponges I used to get in the late 90's that I can't find anymore). I tried using a foundation brush but never had any interest in using the sponge everyone was raving about all of the sudden.Then one day I was waiting for a script to be filled at Walgreen's and saw this Wet and Wild sponge on clearance for like $0.80. Of course I snagged it up (the adorable winking bunny sold me). The next day I decided to try it out. At first I used it dry and it just felt wrong, so I decided to rinse it out and use it wet (like I did with the aforementioned 90's ones) and wow! I was hooked. (Come to find out that is actually how you are supposed to use them.) I have never used any other brand. I know there is the "original Beautyblender ", but why pay more when you can get this? Wet and Wild has really stepped up their game since I started using makeup over 30 years ago. They are no longer a brand I would never use.I just wish my puppy would quit grabbing these! He has never actually eaten one (that could be dangerous), but he basically renders them useless. I had them on Subscribe and Save, but thanks to his obsession with them, I need them even more frequently! Please heed my warning and keep them safe from puppies/dogs that like to chew bright pink, tear-shaped objects!P.S. I tried the other kind (microfiber) hoping it would work like those sponges I used to get back in the day, but nope. I prefer this one.

Great makeup sponge! I wish I would have tried it sooner and saved my $$$. This beats any sponge I’ve used and I’ve tried over 10 brands/sponges. It’s a great value, super easy to clean and is soft, but not too soft! I clean it with regular brush soap and it cleans well.All around it’s the best sponge ever and for $3, who can beat that?Wet n’ Wild is killin it!! I go into detail below about my experience with this wnw sponge and how it compares to other popular sponges. It’s a bit long winded and the highlights are above! It expands a good size when wet and is the right amount of firmness. I love the shape of it! I can do everything from powder, contour, to foundation with it. It has a nice bounce to it and leaves your foundation flawless!It doesn’t have huge pores like the elf pink one, which is my least favorite sponge ever. But it doesn’t soak up tons of product either, similar to the elf sponge, but not quite like it. The elf sponge doesn’t absorb any product, which is why I think I don’t like the elf one, I can go in and get the excess concealer/foundation evened out. WNW doesn’t have that issue it soaks up just enough product to blend well.It is very similar to the Real Techniques blender sponge, that I have used till now, but like the improved version!I can clean it quicker than the RT or BB and it takes less cleanser. During the wash before I used it a lot of pink cane out of it, but that is normal for bright pink sponges. After the 2nd wash it stopped bleeding pink dye. I’ve washed it 5 times and it still looks/seems brand new.It is kinda like the Beauty Blender but much better and a little more dense, which I like honestly. I have had several real Beauty Blenders, but I prefer other sponges because it’s a little too soft and sucks up a lot of product. Plus I hate paying $20 for a sponge I’ll use for 2 months, because that’s how long they usually last me.
